The end of slavery in the United States was primarily brought about by B. The Civil War.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

1. The issue of slavery was a major factor that led to the Civil War. The southern states, where slavery was integral to the economy and social structure, wanted to maintain it, while many in the northern states wanted to abolish it.

2. The Civil War began in 1861 and was fought between the northern states (known as the Union) and the southern states that seceded from the Union to form the Confederacy.

3. In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which declared that all slaves in Confederate-held territory were to be set free. This did not end slavery entirely, as it did not apply to the border states that had not seceded or areas in the South under Union control.

4. The Civil War ended in 1865 with the defeat of the Confederacy.

5. Later in 1865, the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, abolishing slavery throughout the entire United States.

So, while the U.S. Constitution (through the 13th Amendment) officially ended slavery, it was the Civil War that set the stage for this to happen. Slave rebellions and other factors also played a role in the lead-up to the Civil War, but they were not the direct cause of the end of slavery. Manifest Destiny is a concept related to westward expansion and is not directly related to the end of slavery.
